Philadelphia-born producer and multi-instrumentalist OddKidOut has teamed up with Peruvian artist Britt Lari for their new single, “NEED IT“. The new track seamlessly blends OddKidOut’s unique fusion of live percussion and moody electronic beats with Britt Lari’s introspective EDM creations. It serves as a poignant reflection of OddKidOut’s emotional journey after moving to LA last year, embodying the excitement and trepidation that accompany a major transition. Listen to it now below.
“This song is my favorite creation I’ve ever made. It sounds like how I feel inside all the time,” OddKidOut shared. “This song is about the difference between what we want, and what we actually need. I made this song with those feelings in mind; the sort of melancholy space between being excited and being terrified.”
Britt Lari added, “Working with OddKidOut on “NEED IT” was so refreshing. I’ve always been a huge fan of his work so as soon as we linked up, I was inspired to write. With gloomy vibes, we paired emotional pop-inspired vocals to match the heated and beat-driven production. This is a special project for me because it allowed me to explore new areas of creativity with an artist I truly admire. I hope we get to combine forces again soon!”
To celebrate the release of “NEED IT”, OddKidOut will be performing his debut headline show on March 4th at The Moroccan Lounge in LA, where Britt Lari will make an appearance as well. He will also bring his unique finger-drumming performances to the stage at the bitbird showcase during Miami Music Week on March 22nd at FREEHOLD in Miami.
